Aleksandr Mukhin
Surat Thani, Thailand
Artist Aleksandr Mukhin paints colorful surrealist scenes that blend elements of fantasy and a cartoonish style. “I always start freely, just putting pencil to surface and searching for the first image that emerges,” says Aleksandr. His work is a mix of personal narratives and spontaneity. Aleksandr began drawing at five, but his parents steered him toward math and physics. After exploring music and traveling to South America, he returned to art in Kyrgyzstan, where his marker drawings sold online. Moving to Thailand, he shifted to painting and launched a full-time art career. His studio, located in an apartment on Koh Samui, is a space of creative chaos, with art supplies, paints, and canvases scattered everywhere. When not painting, Aleksandr teaches mathematics.
Artist Statement
I create contemporary 2D artwork on canvas, combining elements of abstract expressionism and a cartoonish style. My work often carries the raw energy of artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, but with a personal and spontaneous approach. While I started with marker sketches on A4 paper, most of my works are acrylic paintings on canvas.
I have been drawing since childhood, and for me, creativity is primarily a meditative process. I work spontaneously, letting my intuition guide me. Later, I analyze my work, trying to understand what it reveals about me—my strengths, weaknesses, and what catches my attention. Through art, I explore myself.
I became an artist by chance. My sister suggested I try selling my A4 marker sketches after we moved to Kyrgyzstan, and they sold quickly. Later, after moving to Thailand, a friend urged me to show my acrylic paintings in a local gallery—they sold too. Since then, I’ve brought in more work.
